Got curious about the guy and just finished reading the books and watching the movie. A lot of people described him as troubled, naive, a con-artist, deluded, self-absorbed, misquided, etc. and I would now heartily agree with all of those. But what none of his biographers mentioned is that if the guy was any more flaming gay, he'd have an afterburner. Anyone else seen the movie and reached the same conclusion?

You gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about an hour of digging. And who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night.

Watch the movie, it's entertaining if nothing else. It's like Sigfried and Roy go to Alaska.

ETA and one of the ex-girlfriends they interviewed claimed they were "purely platonic". And the other ex was a "fag hag" if I've ever seen one.

I am watching it right now. He seems pretty flaming. Either way he is a messed up guy and I would have to say he is a major dumb ass. What he saw was damn cool but I would have had my Marlin guide gun and .454 revolver with me at all times.
